A HUMANE ECONOMY

The Social Framework of the Free Market

WILHELM RÖPKE

Here is one of the most accessible and compelling introductions to economics ever written. The masterwork of the great economist Wilhelm Röpke, A Humane Economy cuts through the jargon that mars most economic writing to show exactly how economies operate. Röpke’s brilliant, sweeping work highlights both market mechanics and moral philosophy.

Read information about the author

Wilhelm Röpke (October 10, 1899 – February 12, 1966) was Professor of Economics, first in Jena, then in Graz, Marburg, Istanbul, and finally Geneva, Switzerland, and one of the spiritual fathers of the social market economy, theorising and collaborating to organise the post-World War II economic re-awakening of the war-wrecked German economy, deploying a program sometimes referred to as the sociological neoliberalism (compared to ordoliberalism, a more sociologically inclined variant of German neoliberalism).[1]

With Alfred Müller-Armack and Alexander Rüstow (sociological neoliberalism) and Walter Eucken and Franz Böhm (ordoliberalism) he elucidated the ideas, which then were introduced formally by Germany's post-World War II Minister for Economics Ludwig Erhard, operating under Konrad Adenauer's Chancellorship.[1] Röpke and his colleagues' economic influence therefore is considered largely responsible for enabling Germany's post-World War II Economic "Miracle." Röpke was also an historian.
